Wayne Shorter – Celebration, Volume 1 (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Wayne Shorter spent the final decade of his life performing with one of the most telepathic small groups in jazz history, a quartet so attuned to collective improvisation that no two nights ever sounded alike. That Shorter himself shaped this archival series before his passing in March 2023 makes it something of a final statement, a deliberate act of curation from a composer who always played the long game.
Celebration, Volume 1 is the first in a series of archival releases that Wayne Shorter curated before the legendary saxophonist and composer passed away in 2023. This thrilling 2014 live recording captured Shorter’s acclaimed quartet with pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade at the Stockholm Jazz Festival in Sweden. The intrepid set includes some of the band’s favorite vehicles of exploration including “Zero Gravity,” “Smilin’ Through,” “Orbits,” “Lotus,” and “She Moves Through The Fair.”
